Basket Maker’s Bench Pin

Designed and made by Ken Kimura / Graymist Original

Elevate your basket weaving craft with a rim-supporting tool. Designed specifically for basket makers, this bench pin secures directly to the edge of your table, desk, or workbench to give you a stable, reliable foundation when drilling, pinning, or securing rims.

Say Goodbye to Common Weaving Frustrations

  • No More Bent Pins: Hammering into an unstable, unsupported rim causes pins to bend and ruin your work. Solid wood construction provides the firm backing needed to drive nails straight.
  • Clean, Centered Drilling: Drilling into an unsupported rim makes it nearly impossible to keep your holes straight. Superior stability ensures the holes are clean, straight, and centered.

 

Key Features

  • Solid Wood Construction: Built from sturdy, solid wood to provide a reliable surface that easily absorbs the impact when hammering nails.
  • Thick Leather Padding: Designed with a thick leather top layer that prevents slipping, grips your work securely, and guards delicate basket rims against scratches or dents.
  • Precision & Stability: Provides steady leverage so you can work accurately every single time.
  • Versatile Clamp Included: Includes a heavy-duty adjustable clamp with an opening range of 0–125 mm (0–5 inches) to easily fit a wide variety of table top thicknesses.
  • Dimensions: 7.25” long, 2.5” wide, 3.25” tall
